The owner was lovely and very friendly. Went out of his way to help us and was very entertaining at breakfast. The location was good as it was in walking distance to the city centre, Blackpool Tower, Piers, Pleasure Beach and other attractions.

This property has been on Booking.com since Feb 13, 2013.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

The room was as expected for the money. Tiny and quite old with not much in there other than beds. I was on the top bunk that creaked very loudly every time I moved slightly. We couldn't get the hot water to work (though I think that may have been our issue rather than the hotel). The wifi wasn't working at all. You got no choice for the breakfast - just a very oily fry up.
But, for the money, it is what I expected.

The owner was lovely and very friendly. Went out of his way to help us and was very entertaining at breakfast. The location was good as it was in walking distance to the city centre, Blackpool Tower, Piers, Pleasure Beach and other attractions.

The bloke who owed was lovley polite happy cheery bloke.we orderd a room with four poster bed u could not swing a cat in the room there was about 2ft space around the bed so getting ready for our evening out provided very difficult.the bed was comfy but very rocky the wood beams on the four poster were very wobberly a few tweaks to tighten it all up then it will proberly been ok.we did mention it and the owner did go look the rooms could do with more cleaning dusty skirting boards ect and bathroom floor was dirty...we always look forward to a breakfast when we go away I think this is a important part of impressing guests..we were very disappointed the breakfast was obviously prepared quite sometime early as it was given straight away..1 sausage 1 bacon egg ans ash brown and beans we're all cold and untasty I think this lets it down a lot but all in all it wasn't a bad hotel just some twirks here and there and a better hot nicer breaky and it would be fab great location 5 mins to town, & lovely owner.

The whole B and B needs updating, in our rooms the window handles were all broken, the shower was rubbish and they all need new bathrooms. The one bathroom still had toothpaste on it from the previous people. The cups for the tea and coffee facilities were dirty. For £23 Per night, you get what you pay for, but you expect cleanliness.

Owner was very friendly, along with the other staff. Bar area was good and the breakfast was simple, but ok.

They moved me from another hotel as they were decorating it. Then, 4 days into my holiday, they started painting empty rooms and left the doors open so the whole place stank of paint. Made me feel so ill I was sick and ended up going home early.
Also, at no time did they have the heating on despite it being November.

Breakfast was okay and staff were friendly

no shower, you have to use the shower room. The "fire alarm" went off in the middle of the night one night and then at about six o'clock the next night too. I feel this was due to inconsiderate visitors deciding to take off the smoke alarms for a fag in their room and, of course, the system shows a fault and goes off. Might be worth while putting a notice in the room advising customers.

Located in the middle of Foxhall Village ideal for many of the Blackpool "to do" sights, yet up a side road so not that noisy and had a good sleep each night. If you take the self-catering option there are a couple of nearby cafes at very good prices. Breakfast is available. Single room i was in had a sink and WC also TV and tea making facilities. If you need anything doing to your room just ask Nick or a member of staff.
